Chapter 14: Training continues! Cooler's plot against the Saiyans!
Author Foreword: Now before we get on with this, we get to start up the Cooler saga for this fic! As you remember, I ended the original version of this fic with the fight with Cooler before I gave up. Now then, let's see what we'll do before Cooler gets to Earth!
Also for Fu, this one is… Ok spoilers for Extra DLC Pack, but this one is from the "Time Fixing" Ending, where we basically block out Fu and he's all "Oh come on, let me atleast cut you up!" and stuff, so basically evil-ish Fu, but maybe he'll turn into a good guy later? Who knows, he's a neutral boy

"Hah!"
"Grah!"
"Hoh!"
Bardock and Goku traded blows quickly and rapidly as they moved through the underbrush, leaves passing them by slowly as the two used rapid movements against each other. Bardock was on the ropes, but was able to keep up with Goku now.
"That rough training did pay off" Gine commented as she watched the two. After spending time with Bulma and some of Goku's friends(she wasn't really bound to the whole "don't see each other until the androids arrive" pact), she had learned from Bulma how to track lightspeed battles. She was used to it, but sometimes, she saw things too fast…
Looking up at Goku and Bardock again, the two were at it, Goku in his usual Gi, and Bardock with a tanktop, gi pants, arm and leg warmers, and boots. For the fight, they decided to have something far more comfortable and practical
"Dad still going at it with grandpa, huh?"
Gine turned to see Gohan and Fasha, both smiling and only somewhat covered in dirt and scuff marks
"Yup. They sure are amazing, those two. I guess Bardock was always like this and just needed a push." Gine gazed off to the fighting pair
"Sure, I guess Dad also inherited that…" he barely held himself from mentioning the whole "dad" issue.
"Whatever the case, they sure are stronger now. I bet Bardock will turn Super Saiyan within the month"
"Oh? You sure?" Gine raised a brow, "How much you betting?"
"Eh… about 400 Zeni"
"Hm…. well I bet 500 he'll do it in weeks"
Fasha gave Gine the stink eye
"You give our boss too much credit"
"He is my husband, our leader, and an excellent tactician…" Gine reminded her. The three kept watch as Goku and Bardock raised their fight into the air…

On a desolated world, three individuals rested in the arid environment. One, a green skinned humanoid, another a red skinned lizard humanoid, and finally the white and purple leader, who sat on what used to be a throne. Well the whole planet had been desolated but it still supported some life, enough for the buyers interested in it to come around…
As they gazed at the maroon sky, another trooper, blue skinned and blond, flew to them and kneeled
"What is it, Salza?" The green skinned one asked
"Lord Cooler! I have unfortunate news…"
"What could it be?" The brother of Frieza looked down at his subordinate
"I have unfortunate news… Tagoma has reported that… Lord Frieza and King Cold have fallen!"
When Cooler first heard his dimwit brother, he smirked, but his mood soured as he heard his father's name. He grimaced and brought down his tail, causing the air to shudder and the men to flinch
"Who is the one responsible? I don't care for Frieza, but more of our Family's pride and for my… late, Father's sake. What did the report say?"
"W-well m'lord…" The humanoid gulped, "Reports from the ship before it was destroyed… identified a Saiyan…."
Cooler squinted his eyes, how could the Saiyans possibly…?
Ah of course, Frieza got them to become his nightmare and got killed in the process. Ofcourse.
Cooler sighed and let his trooper continue
"Anyway, after Lord Frieza and Lord Cold arrived on "Earth", the Saiyan was able to kill all the soldiers who supported your Father and Frieza, and faced Frieza. He was able to destroy one of Frieza's destruction waves and cut him to pieces before blowing him apart…" Cooler slipped a smirk and a stray thought of amusement, "... and finally King Cold was perforated and then vaporized, along with the ship after a desperate struggle with the Saiyan…"
"Any images to be gained?"
"Flight recorder has been uploaded to the high-ranking scouters. The Frieza force has gone into hiding… seems as though we're some of the last few left. Reports are coming in that the control forces are in shambles and…. Galactic Patrol influence and appearances are on the rise…"
Cooler scoffed and stood up, causing the two other soldiers to kneel
"The Galactic Patrol can wait. First, we must deal with the Saiyan. I don't care if any Super Saiyan, Super Saiyan God, or even a damn God of Destruction gets in the way!"
His men shook as his voice reverberated around the landscape
"Take the elite squadron and the ship. We're headed to Earth! This is not a mission for the job, for control, for fame, not even money! This… this is a revenge mission!"
"Sir yes sir!" All three stood, and the group flew to their spacecraft, lusting for revenge against the one who had defeated them….

In an empty planet, Frieza force soldiers littered the battlefield. They had mostly been Appule's race, coming in different shades. They had all been loyal to the Frieza Force of course.
And now that had gotten them in trouble.
As the main facility of the last city shook, a commander with a cape looked desperately at his men
"The… The Saiyan! He's breached the inner walls!"
The commander, a green alien named Sourapp, shook his fist in anger
"Damn those Saiyans! First they get uppity and cause havoc in the Frieza Force, and now the Prince is back and destroying our forces! How many of us are there left?!"
"Our current fighting force has reached 20% and falling! He keeps blasting through our troops like paper! I don't understand how he got that strong!" One of the troopers exclaimed
The commander looked up at a screen, showing Vegeta rampaging through the residential district, wearing Earth-based armor similar to some Frieza-force soldiers. He speeded through the highways and buildings, destroying them and blasting anything in his way
"That bastard! We did nothing wrong!"
"Sir! Should we send the escape pods?!"
He looked at his men, grimacing
"Send our best warriors and several family units away from here…. We can't risk the extinction of our ra-"
A large dome of energy exploded out of the residential district, engulfing that part of the city. Dust and debris fell as the troops looked horrified. A plume of energy rose and struck the industrial and military centers
"Hurry!"
"Right away sir!"
As pods flew into the sky quickly, Vegeta flew straight at the central building, crumbling the walls and sending several of the troop flying. He sent several blasts down a hall, destroying parts containing important pieces, and rushed through an adjacent set. As he did, two guard opened fire, their bolts of energy sent back at them by Vegeta, who smirked cruely
"Frieza Force scum! No one can defeat me!"
Entering one of the rooms in the hall, he found a scouter, updated with current information. He placed it on, turning it off to conserve energy in order to examine the information on it. He kept running up the floors, cutting down more and more troopers.
Arriving at the top, he entered the room where Sourapp and his troops were at
"V-Vegeta!" The commander yelled
He took a step forward, energy glowing in his hands
"If you are really desperate in order to live, tell me where Cooler is!"
"C-Cooler?! We're not associates of his!"
The prince shot some energy at some nearby troops, creating a hole in the side of the building.
"You scum! You think you're tough?! You'll never beat Cooler!"
"Oh? And how do you suppose that?" Vegeta asked
Sourapp smirked, "You never beat Frieza, did you?"
Vegeta stopped cold, giving the commander an answer
"We had the records from the two ships from Frieza's battles…. We know it wasn't you who destroyed Frieza or King Cold! You're nothing-"
Vegeta rushed at him, throwing a gut punch
"...T-to those Saiyans!"
Vegeta grit his teeth
"You dirty little-!"
He punched the commander in his throat. The others backed away, unable to help due to how powerful Vegeta was.
"-Punk!"
Vegeta started glowing as he kicked Sourapp into the displays. He growled, hair flashing gold
"I.. I… I AM THE PRINCE OF ALL SAIYANS!"
The top of the building broke as thunder and storm clouds gathered. With a mighty yell, Vegeta's aura blew up, wind whipping out from him to around the city. The Frieza Force soldiers stared up at the Saiyan as he was engulfed in gold, with blond hair and fierce turqoise eyes.
"Those who dare sully the name of the Saiyans… ESPECIALLY ME, WILL ALL PERISH!"
Vegeta flew up, aiming his arm down
"BIG BANG ATTACK!"
As the large blue ball of energy flew through the building, it incinerated several floors before it hit the ground floor, detonating and destroying the city within a large blast. As the dust settled, Vegeta floated in the air, admiring his newly acquired power
"Yes… yes… YES! I've done it! I've reached their level!"
Laughing maniacally, Vegeta stood triumphantly in his Super Saiyan form, excited at this. He calmed down, looking down at his hands
"This isn't enough…. I'll train and gain more power… THEN, we'll see who's the better Super Saiyan…."
Looking back at where he had landed his ship, he flew off, Golden aura trailing from the destroyed city…
